Would you ever buy a korean car if you were aiming for a stylish looking car? I wouldn't and I wouldn't buy a Hyundai, Daewoo or a Kia. Their designs ugly and look like knock offs of Japanese cars.

The only credit I'd give to Korean cars are that, they are very affordable. You can get a nicely equipped Kia for 10-15k. I know alot of low income people who bought brand new kias for a good price. Lol

    I've never seen a car made in Korea sad.gif. Pics? tongue.gif

    I'm probably going to buy a hybrid? That's in a few years though when I do actually buy a car...

    Pfft....my Corolla is the only car for me, luxurious or otherwise >.>

    I would -never- replace my corolla, unless it completely fell apart and there was -no- way to save it. Even if I became a billionaire (lawl at that) I still wouldn't buy something else.

    I'm not sure what a korean car is.

    but I know I love japanese cars...

    my absolute favorite is the Suzuki "Cappucino"... it's waist-high!!!





    then there's all the normal little box-cars that are named totally weird things.....

    like the Honda "That's"


    or the Daihatsu "Naked"



    I saw the names of the cars on them, and had to take photos of them. they're in my photos somewhere. XD

    I didn't say I liked those box-cars, I said they have funky names. D:<


    but the cappucino.... something that tiny is a must have.

    i'll buy whatever is nice, affordable, and relevant to my interests. i don't think race has anything to do with style or quality, so it doesn't really matter to me.

    I used to have a Volvo until very recently that I loved. I would have kept her until the wheels fell off if she hadn't gotten totalled in the line of fire. ; ; So... I know how you feel.

    She's since been replaced with a brand new Honda Civic.

    Damn thing feels like I'm driving a spaceship... but I feel like I'm going to love this car too. happy.gif;;

    EDIT: whoops, I forgot to answer the question. XD I think I might look in to the Korean cars... I doubt I'd buy one though...

    Oh, I love him ^-^ I'm complete rubbish in every other car; believe me, I tried after I bought my Cory. No way; even if Cory busts up, I'll have to find another Corolla to replace him.

    ...It's really cheesy and retarded, but the Corolla was meant for me o.O And only this model; I can drive through ice, oil, rain, sleet, hail, and snow with him...and I've tried all of the above. Didn't even have a small problem. He doesn't even have ABS....

    ....-rambles on-

    Okay, seriously....I need to shut up. I wanna drive my car now dry.gif

    You just made me miss my car all the more.. crybaby.gif We went everywhere together... all over the states, just her and me. She was beautiful and she squealed with delight whenever we'd go fast...
    I named her. I hesitate to put her name here... but I'll miss her so much.
